share in the market place.  I've had the pleasure of working with an assortment of clients from: packaging for Chicken of the Sea and Wal-Mart, newsletters for Wells Fargo Bank and the City of Union City. Broadcast on-air and scenic design, non-profits as well as; Hispanic marketing and branding assignments for the San Diego Ad Club, Univision/Telemundo.

Currently, I am searching for new full time or freelance opportunities, the experience 
I offer will be an asset to your design and marketing efforts.

Sincerely,
